Turning 50 Larch seedlings into prebonsai 

Hope you and your colleagues enjoy the workshop. You have put a lot of time in preparing for it, and I hope they appreciate it. Keep growing xx

That will be a fantastic workshop! I'm hoping to be able to find tree bundles for spring. Redwoods or Giant Sequoia. Things I can't get from outside here.

This is a good way to get loads of material to work with. I did the same with Mugo pines last year, bought like 50 bare rooted young trees at less than €1 each. Good video! Hope your colleagues enjoy the workshop

Nice development, I would guess the heat got to the roots, they are very fragile when young! The trees that made it look fantastic!

Thank you for sharing your great video! Remember to keep us updated!

Thanks for the video! I recently got a dozen in the early summer similarly bare rooted. I left them alone for this year to grow them on a bit, but I’m excited for future work.

Bravo ! Love Larches

... this year I also had issue with larches because of too much sun and drought as well. I'm going to grow more of a scots pine.

Hope you’re able to produce a video on your workshop… 😊

Nice Stuff ! It Looks Good what you have done 👍👍👍

This was helpful, thanks again

Good job!

I think it was the heat Jelle. When I get the bare root larch, I chop just as much or more of the roots, and I put osmocote plus slow release chemical fertilizer in the substrate. You did everything correct as per my experience.

I have certainly found with dry root larch saplings I lose up to a third of them. I have done that operation three times now and varied substrate with no difference in results. But...at £1.50 a sapling I am happy to get five great future bonsai from a batch of twenty. I never put fertiliser in the soil though?

I hope you will make some pictures of the end results of the workshop :)

👍👌🙂

Hope you still had enough trees for everyone who wanted to work on one. 😅 I had (another) question about substrate. In your big video on the subject you were careful to sift your recycled material by grain size. Here, it looks like all the components are roughly the same size except the coco coir which seemed smaller. Does the coir not accumulate in and block up the voids between the other grains? How does this work?

How’d you get all the larches rooted that you started with at the beginning of the video?

Hallo ich sehe mir gerne deine Videos an nur schade kann kein Englisch leider 😥
